Just read the post from BC, great to see them engaging in a conversation with fans. It's hard to argue with someone who has all the financial information when you don't, but I would still respectfully disagree with them about the pricing. Although the figure appears to be of a high quality it still falls slightly short of Hot Toys sculpting, paintwork and outfit quality. That's why it feels overpriced to me, even though I have to accept the arguments of someone who has a spread sheet in front of them showing just what everything cost.
I'd never claim it was a rip off or anything like that, but I do question whether all those accessories were necessary, and the extra stand, especially as you are doing expansion packs. I generally only want a great figure and one key accessory; could you not have provided this at a lower cost, say £125, and then given collectors the chance to acquire the accessories separately if they wanted them? This could then have been a purchase I could have jumped straight into rather than one that makes me purse my lips and think hmmmm, not sure.
I don't mean to be negative - I'd love to own this figure and wish you all the best, but in the current climate a figure that I perceive to be 15-20% overpriced is likely to stay unbought.
I can't remember being this excited about a delivery from the uk.
